April's Secret

A blindfolded stranger with one request. One night in Heaven.

That’s all it was supposed to be. But her whispered plea, to feel wanted, still echoes in my head long after leaving Purgatory. I never saw her face, but I’m not able to forget the way she made me feel.
Weeks later, fate puts her right in front of me. When her evil stepsisters bring her into my tattoo shop, Wicked Ink, as an evil joke.

April is clueless that I’m the man who touched her that night in the dark. She’s fragile and fierce, carrying secrets behind her eyes and trust issues carved deep by the people who should have protected her.

I want to keep her safe, to be the kind of man she deserves.
But every touch and every kiss brings us closer to the truth I’m terrified to confess.
Until the past blows up in both our faces.
I know I could lose her if she ever finds out what really happened that night.
But I’ve never wanted anything, or anyone, like this before.
She thinks I’ll walk away. She couldn’t be more wrong. Because I’m done running from love, and I’ll fight like hell for the family we never saw coming.

*This is a spicy standalone with a happily ever after*
